Pizza, Gas Payments in Your Car. What?

Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep and Ram customers will soon be able to
access their vehicle’s Uconnect infotainment system to order Domino’s Pizza and
more!

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) is taking advantage of the Uconnect
market and establishing in-vehicle transactions in the next half of the year.
With the use of the touch screen, customers have the ability to order pizza,
make restaurant reservations, pay for their gasoline in advance at select Shell
stations, and even pre-pay for their parking garage tickets. Along with those
accessible luxuries, FCA drivers will be able to schedule service appointments
at FCA dealerships.

Installation will take place over-the-air for both 2019 and
2020 Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and Ram vehicles that have connected services and
the latest updates.

Uconnect’s product marketing manager, Mike Novak states that
if other merchants decide to join the Uconnect Market, there will be room due
to the system being scalable. It is a new addition that makes the bold
clarification that FCA is “open to exploration.” Novak explained the system to
simply enhance their customer’s productivity because time is valuable.

With the assistance of Harman and Google the Uconnect Market
update follows FCA’s April announcement of an “ecosystem” for the vehicle.
According to FCA, this system will manage the data inside the vehicle using the
cloud-based platform Harman Ignite. This particular service will help deliver a
variety of connected services to drivers.

Mike Novak emphasizes that FCA will be focusing their
attention on getting customers to give Uconnect a try. Novak states, “When we
launch, we’re going to make sure they know how to use it, how to do the first
setup as far as creating a wallet so you can make transactions and payments,
and Beyond that, to see what opportunities there are for co-marketing
opportunities. If somebody isn’t a Shell Fuel Rewards member, explaining to
them how you could if you wanted to. If somebody hasn’t purchased Domino’s
Pizza before, just giving them incentives to give it a try. We’re looking for
clever, fun marketing activities to entice people to use it.”

All in all, FCA is focused about enhancing their customer’s
overall vehicle experience.
